DOCUMENTING CHICAGO'S LAKE & HALSTED NEIGHBORHOOD: Providing random views of the local nightlife, from LAKEandHALSTED.com

SUNDAY 1-27-08, 3:10 AM: EIGHT consecutive gunshots can be heard towards the beginning of the video (34 sec.), immediately followed by Shadow Bar Nightclub security running left (east). Seconds later, 12th District Police TAC Officers, already at the scene in an unmarked Chicago Police car, turn on their siren and speed to Halsted, turning north, towards the gunfire. Within moments, several additional Police vehicles were combing the entire neighborhood.

Security from some of the local clubs assisted Police in their search, but neither the shooter nor a target was located. The gunshots have not been attributed to disturbances at any of the clubs, and appear to be random. There haven't been any street brawls since the Chromium Niteclub closed on 12/3/07. However, after Police and club security left to pursue the gunman, Shadow Bar patrons argue in the street, with one man yelling repeatedly, "He got a club!".

The video camera was set on remote, facing south, and captured the gunshots through a closed window, muting the sound at the beginning of the video. The gunshots appear to have occurred on the east side of the building. In the video, you'll see exiting Shadow Bar patrons with the front end of the unmarked Chicago Police car on the far right. After being awakened, the window was opened and the camera operated by hand, turning east, towards the Lake & Halsted intersection.
